I've been working on this deck for a long time now, trying to make it viable as much as possible in modern.
The idea is to control early game with Thoughtseize and Tidehollow Sculler. Then, when the main threat is gone, you put some seriously corrupted people on the field; High Priest of Penance and Souls of the Faultless. To keep those creatures on the field, depending on the situation, you can choose between Athreos, God of Passage, Skeletal Grimace or Brave the Elements. «to deal with pesky creatures tha by-pass defense there is Sinister Possession, Visions of Brutality and Path to Exile . Then, you get Gideon Jura on the battlefield, force your opponnent to swing his (enchanted) creatures into either the priest or souls of the faultless, preferably enchanted with Skeletal Grimace.

Souls of the Faultless+Valor Made Real is especialy surprising the first time around. ;)

The sideboard

Edge of the Divinity; to give +3/+3 to ANY of your creatures for one mana.

Zealous Persecution; against hexproof and tokens

Surgical Extraction; against combo or anything that kills the strategy of the deck.

Kambal, Consul of Allocation; against noncreature spell ( instant/ sorcery/ enchantments/ artifacts) heavy decks

Any comment or suggestions are very welcomed, especially with sideboard. I'm trying to make it as competitive as possible, little by little.
